Bernat A. Tizard Learning Disability Review 2025;30(2):105–116.
[This study aims to explore public attitudes towards disabled people and their human rights and the variation of attitudes towards people with different disabilities, including people with an intellectual disability and autistic people. Findings show a generally high acceptance of people with sensory or mobility limitations; however, acceptance of autistic people and people with intellectual disability is significantly lower.]

Documenting and responding to the views and experiences of autistic people with profound learning disabilities: community and professional perspectives on current day-service practices.
Redmore N. Tizard Learning Disability Review 2025;30(2):131–140.
[This study found that day-service documenting practices focus on formal aspects of service members’ lives, such as behaviour, as opposed to their views or experiences. Support staff reported that they often gain a complex understanding of members’ views and experiences, but this understanding is not drawn upon when services make decisions about support.]
